The human organism as a whole must develop different forces in one particular sphere of life than in another. Thus, a locomotive can easily run over a person who, in despair, throws himself in front of its wheels and thus comes into conflict with the forces that could have been beneficial to him if he had used the train as a passenger. We thus become aware of how, on the one hand, forces must be developed that become evil on the other, and it is precisely these that can lead human beings up into the spiritual worlds; for in these forces, which have an evil effect in the physical world, higher forces prevail in a good, beneficial sense in the sphere that suits them. Thus, evil becomes transparent in its meaning as a product of the transformation of forces in human life, so that we finally arrive at the fact that this evil is the reversal of a higher good in a sphere of activity that is not appropriate for it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"18.

Der menschliche Gesamt-Organismus muss andere Kräfte entwickeln in der einen besonderen Lebens-Sphäre als in einer anderen. So kann eine Lokomotive einen Menschen ohne Weiteres überfahren, wenn sich dieser in Verzweiflung vor ihr Räder auf die Schienen wirft und so in Konflikt gerät [m?] den Kräften, die ihm, wenn er als Reisender den Zug benützt hätte, zum Heil hätten gereichen können. Wir werden also gewahr, wie auf der einen Seite Kräfte entwickeln werden müssen, die auf der anderen Seite böse werden und gerade diese können den Menschen in die geistigen Welten hinaufführen; denn in diesen auf der physischen Welt böse wirkenden Kräften walten höhere Kräfte im guten, fördernden Sinne in der ihnen zusagenden Sphäre. Dadurch also wird nun das Böse durchsichtig in seine Bedeutung als ein Verwandlungsprodukt von Kräften im Leben des Menschen, sodass wir endlich zu der Tatsache kommen: Dieses Böse ist die Verkehrung eines höheren Guten in einer diesem nicht zusagenden Wirkungs-Sphäre.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":203,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-03-29/p014"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-03-29/p014"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":203,"en_words":219,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4720,"original_word_count":4546,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death and Immortality in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069d/English/SOL2024/19140329p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
